SS 433 is well known for its precessing twin jets having optical bullets inferred through spectroscopic observation of Hα lines. Recently, Chakrabarti et al. described processes that may be operating in the accretion disk of SS 433 to produce these bullets. In a recent multiwavelength campaign, we find a sharp rise in intensity in timescales of a few minutes in X-ray, IR, and radio waves through photometric studies. We interpret them to be possible evidence of ejection of bullet-like features from accretion disks.
